This commercial was odd because who the hell would carry one around and talk on it? It was useful for bothering or freaking someone out in the next room... or of course for being an idiot recording yourself on it. And yes, just like on that one Simpsons episode, one of the first things I thought of, besides that I had one and now I feel lame and old. Hell I still remember the internet being dialup BBS access from back in the way early 90s. So I guess I could say I was there and saw it evolve? Yeah.. oh well.

The size of your freakin head and only owned by rich a$$holes. The 80's were totally awesome. ...and by awesome I mean sucky and lame. Also Michael Jackson was cool back then...

Monday, February 11, 2008 3:52:11 PMMe and my sister (10 years older) always have the argument, What was the worst and best decade? For worse we think 60's because it lead to the 70's (we could have said 70's but if you caused the 70s you are worse). And the best, we go split ways. She says 80's just because it ended the 70s (no other reason though. Come on, Mr. Microphone, Jordache jeans, Jherri Curls?). I say 90's because it ended the 80s and it had a talking dog "Drop the Chalupa".

So in conclusion, the 80s greatest contribution was that it ended the 70s (it still has its influence on today though, sadly. Boy bands still sound like girls).

90s for life or atleast until The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song finally gets old.
